At this point, Zhong Mingwei pursed his lips and then said, "It's nothing more than that when His Majesty asked the Jinyiwei to investigate the matter of the strange baby, the Jinyiwei discovered another earth-shaking event, so the death of Queen Zhenxian and my life experience have a new conclusion. And calculating the time, it was not long after that that my father secretly sent Ma Zhiming to take me back to Beijing. There must be a causal relationship here. It's just that we have been confused about what my father is up to. Now, unexpectedly, the person who can solve our doubts is the second brother."
"But I still don't understand why the Prince of Hui told us such an important secret," Pang Yi frowned. As he read the letter, his brows furrowed even tighter. "He even told us all the secrets of the Cui family from many years ago. If he wanted to make peace with us, he also told us the true identity of the imperial physician named Lu Guinian. It is obvious that it was the Cui family that caused the Queen Zhenxian to be misunderstood by His Majesty, and she died unjustly after giving birth. It also caused His Majesty to hate me so much that he almost killed me several times. In the end, all the things were caused by the Cui family. After knowing the whole story, wouldn't we hate the Cui family to the core and make peace with them instead?"
"Why not?" Mei Ya said, "When Prince Hui was born, Empress Zhenxian had already passed away, and it was impossible for him to know these old things. If His Majesty had not instructed him to know the cause and effect of the matter some time ago, he would probably have died without knowing that their Cui family had a doctor named Lu Guinian. He knew the cause and effect, but did not choose to conceal it. Instead, he told us everything he knew. This shows at least two points. First, he felt guilty towards Ming Wei, and telling us these was to atone for the Cui family as much as possible. Second, he and Prince Rong had a deep grudge and there was no hope of reconciliation. So now that he has been released to Yongzhou, he is worried about his situation when the new monarch ascends the throne in the future. So after thinking about it, he plans to join our side. This is also the greatest sincerity he can show."
"There is another point. He is hinting at something to us," Zhong Mingwei continued, taking over Mei Ya's words. "Why would His Majesty let him know these secrets? There is only one possibility. His father intends to make him the crown prince, so he would let him know the whole story and want him to completely get rid of his fantasy about the Cui family and submit to His Majesty wholeheartedly. But Prince Hui finally left Beijing for his fiefdom, which shows his attitude and choice. It also shows that the candidate for the crown prince identified by His Majesty has never been Prince Rong. But looking at Prince Rong's current hot-tempered attitude, Prince Hui...he is asking us to be careful. Prince Rong has never been a kind person."
"Who will His Majesty appoint as the Crown Prince?" Mei Ya frowned. This was the question that concerned her the most. "Prince Hui left the capital, and Prince Rong is not a candidate for the Crown Prince. That leaves you and the Fourth Prince." At this point, Mei Ya's eyes suddenly widened. "Could it be that His Majesty intends to appoint you as the Crown Prince? Is he... is he planning to make up with you and Queen Zhenxian?"
"No, even if he feels sorry for me and my mother, he will never re-appoint a deposed prince as the crown prince. What's more, I was deposed by him personally, and I am a paraplegic who can't even walk properly. If he wants to re-appoint me as the crown prince, it would be tantamount to him slapping himself in front of the whole world," Zhong Mingwei curled his lips sarcastically, and said, "At most, he will give me the title of a prince and some real power. So hasn't he been thinking about letting me return to the court recently?"
"Then only the fourth prince is left?" Meiya bit her lip and frowned, "But the fourth prince is only fifteen years old, and there is Prince Rong above him. How could His Majesty appoint such a half-grown boy as the crown prince?"
